Show spawn, Dungeon and other places on the Terraria map

Turn the map's place filters on or off: Spawn, Dungeon, Pylons, altars, Shadow Orbs, Life Crystals, Life Fruit, Plantera's bulbs and more.

Updated , checked on Terraria 1.4.5.8

The list beside the Map has one filter for each kind of place. Turn a filter on to mark every place of that kind on the map, and off to hide them. The panel finds the places in the world’s save.

The filters

  • Spawn: the world’s spawn point.
  • Dungeon: the world’s Dungeon.
  • Pylons: every pylon in the world.
  • Demon and Crimson altars: every altar of either kind.
  • Shadow Orbs and Crimson Hearts: every orb and heart.
  • Life Crystals: every Life Crystal.
  • Life Fruit: every Life Fruit.
  • Plantera’s bulbs: every bulb of Plantera.
  • Lihzahrd Altar: the Lihzahrd Altar.
  • Enchanted Sword shrines: every shrine of the Enchanted Sword.

Use them

  1. Open the Map tab.
  2. In the panel on the left of the map, open Map settings.
  3. Below Show all and Hide all, find the list of places. Each row has a number: how many places of that kind the world has.
  4. Turn a filter on or off. The markers appear and disappear at once. Show all (2) turns every layer on and Hide all turns them off.
Map settings open, with the list of places below Show all and Hide all, some on and some dimmed
  1. A place filter, here off
  2. Show all

A dimmed row (1) is a filter that is off.

Three filters start off, because a world has many of them: Demon and Crimson altars, Shadow Orbs and Crimson Hearts and Life Crystals. Turn them on when you need them. Chests and signs also start off. They have their own guide: chests and signs.

Only places the world has

The list shows a filter only for a kind of place that the world has. Spawn and Dungeon are always there. A world without any Life Fruit has no Life Fruit filter. A kind may be missing from one world and present in another.

Fresh from the last save

The places are read from the save, so a place the players made or broke after the last save is not shown yet. See the map page for when the map is drawn again.

If it does not work

  • A filter is missing. The world has none of that kind of place yet.
  • A filter is on and nothing shows. The place may not be in the last save yet. Wait for the next save and redraw.
  • The whole map is empty. Read map not showing.
